Alison’s Bio
I am a former Family Counselor with my M.Ed in Counseling. I have worked with families of all ages and socioeconomic levels for a number of years. My experience with companion care is based around a more personal situation. I have been one of my mothers team of care givers as she advances through the stages of Alzheimer's Disease. In this care giving role, I gained much insight and experience with dementia patients, the family process and, as my mother spent two years in assisted living, learned of my love for the aging population. I spent a lot of time with the residents of the facility where my mother lived. I felt enriched by their stories, wisdom, and strength. I would very much like to find people to work with that need companion care, want days out, need light chores or cooking done, or who just need someone to spend time with.
